I use macrium reflect home.
sometimes when I restore a system image, it takes an extra few seconds at the end in order to reboot, and then I see that the EFI firmware has reverted to default settings.
ASUS mobo.
Yes, I restore also the three little partitions that come before the C partition.
What's worse, when this happens I often can't boot into BIOS at all. The menu refuses to open, and if it does eventually open, the boot options won't open.
And every time I start up my computer from then on, the boot process takes longer, until it mysteriously calms down again.
I tried flashing to update the BIOS, but it did not help. ASUS support says I need to replace my BIOS chip.
I know this whole thing is illogical -- what does system image restore have to do with firmware settings??
But it has happened to me several times.
Is there a safer way for me to restore my system?
